Supplied With Boats and Belts.
New YORK. November 21.-In an inter-
view, agent Vanderloon said ne did not
believe the stories that the crew of the
ship had seized life belts and sought their
own safety, leaving the passengers TO their
fate. That good order was maintained
after the collision, and every effort made
to save the passengers was proved by the
fact that Captain Taal, the first officer, aud
m any of the crew were among the miss
ing. When asked why only two of the
ships life boats had been launched, the
sgent said: THE SchoIten's life boats
were swung on davits amidships, three on
either side. Two of those on the port side
were crushed by the collision. The other
was launched. The water as it poured in
to the midship compartment gave her such
a list 10 port that the starboard boats
could not be launched from that side. One
of them was subsequently launched and
the lashings of the others were cut in the
hope that when the vessel went down they
would float, and possibly some of the pas
seDgers who might be floating in the wa
ter would thus be saved. These life-bosts
were fully equipped with life-belts, break
eIs Of water, provisions, oars and other
necessary equipments, and the two life
RATS, which were on the after deck, were
also fully supplied with provisions, etc.
The Scholten sank quickly, because the
break was in the engine room, which is
the largest compartment. She was one CT
the best vessels in the service of the com
paDy, and was built with seven water-tight
bulkhesds. She was valued at $40 600
and was insured for $4,000. She had g
very iine cargo, coE sisting of tobacco gin,
Rhine wine, herriDgs, dry.goods, iron-wire
and other goods. The total value is esti-
mated at $500, 600, most of which is covered
by insursnc." s-Sh - 60 =
w. n. Vanderloon, general agent of W.
A. Scholten, IN New York, stated late this
afternoon that the passengers on the
Scholten who were saved would probably
be brought over on the P. Calaud. The

| Dover TO take off the Scholtsn's late psssen-
gers. The general agent of the line at
